A rocker switch gives a simple on/off control and is ideal for utility rooms, cloakrooms or areas where you just need full power quickly, while a dimmer lets you adjust light levels for mood or task lighting. The range includes plain rocker options (1–4 gang, e.g. XS1D, XS93D) and a good selection of dimmers, including LED-compatible models. If you have dimmable LED downlights in a living room, an LED dimmer will let you soften the lights for evenings; for a garage or boot room, a rocker switch is more practical and cost-effective.

Gang count refers to how many separate switches sit in one plate, each controlling its own circuit or light. The range covers 1, 2, 3 and 4 gang plates, so you can match the plate to the number of lights or circuits on one wall,a 3-gang (XS93 series) to control landing, stair and hallway lights from one location. Choose the same finish across a room for a tidy look, and pick the gang count that matches how many switches you want within reach.

Yes,the range specifically includes LED dimmers designed for dimmable LEDs, so you can control modern LED fittings without flicker or loss of range when paired with a compatible lamp. Look for the V-Dim and V-Pro dimmable items (HS4 or JSE102) and ensure the lamps you buy are marked "dimmable." If you're fitting multiple LED downlights, a dimmer from the V-Pro/V-Dim line will give smoother control than a standard rocker.

Several double pole switch socket plates include integrated USB charging: you can find versions with two USB‑A ports (XS5U2SDB/XS5U2SDW) and versions with USB‑A plus USB‑C (XS5UACDB/XS5UACDW). USB‑C is useful if you want faster charging for newer phones, tablets or laptops, while USB‑A remains handy for older chargers or accessories. A popular use is a countertop kitchen socket with USB‑C for tablets and USB‑A for phones, keeping everything charged without bulky adaptors.

The collection features chrome faceplates with a choice of rocker colours,black, white or contrasting red for cooker switches,and decorative chrome models across the range. For a sleek, contemporary kitchen go for chrome with black rockers; choose chrome with white rockers for a cleaner, minimalist bathroom or hall. If you need a highly visible control for a cooker or isolator, the red rocker options make it easy to spot.
